Method

  1. Crush the biscuits by putting them in a large, strong, plastic food bag and bashing with a rolling pin. Melt the butter with the syrup or honey in the microwave, then stir in the biscuits. Press onto the base and up the sides of a 12 x 36cm rectangular tin (or 23-25cm round flan tin) and chill while you make the filling.
  2. Break up the two chocolate bars and put in a large bowl. Melt in the microwave for 2-3 mins on Medium, stirring halfway through. Stir in the vanilla extract, then sift in the icing sugar. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape, then fold into the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Chill for at least 2 hrs or for up to 2 days.
  3. Just before serving, remove the tart from the tin and slide it onto a flat plate (loosen edges first with the tip of a small pointed knife). You will find it easier to remove the tart if you leave it at room temperature for 30 mins. Put a few tsps of crème fraîche along the centre of the tart (or around the edges if the tart is circular) and top each with a raspberry, then dust lightly with icing sugar. Cut into thin slices and serve with extra raspberries on the side.

    I make this all the time for partys etc, always goes down really well, can be made with milk choc depends what you like. You dont need the all butter biscuits though, save on calories and use other biscuits its just as good. I agree with the comments about it going grainy. I make it in a round cake tin and sometime make it 1 1/2 times the recipe as the bars of choc in tesco are 150 grams each and I would only eat the left over bits myself :)

    This is really good and really simple....wish I had read the comments first though, I had to throw the first batch of chocolate away as the vanilla extract made it hard and lumpy, second time around I added the vanilla and sugar to the cream instead, and the biscuit base could definitely do with a lot less butter, but it was loved by all who ate it and it will definitely be made again.

    This went down a treat and would definitely make again. Very easy to make. I was a bit worried that the icing sugar made the chocolate taste too sweet but when I served the tart (and after it had sat in the fridge for a couple of hours) it tasted yummy!

    Oups, I did the same thing with the Vanilla Essence....... I followed the recipe by adding it to the chocolate and guess what......hard and lumpy! I added the cream and then used my electric mixer to bring it back. (Too expensive to waste all that chocolate) I used Digestive biscuits instead of 'all butter' ones and that worked wonderfully. The smiles on the faces of my guests after taking their first bite.........well, it goes without saying that I'll be making it on a regular basis....yummy!

    I've made this in preparation for a dinner on friday night. Unfortunately I accidentally put almond essence in instead of vanilla essence. Luckily it actually tastes quite nice, so if you are after an alternative try almond essence.

    Great dinner party dessert. I used the digestive and ginger nut mix and added the vanilla extract to the cream. The mixture did go grainy, but after it had been chilled this wasn't noticable at all. I would advise taking it out of the fridge for about half an hour before serving, because it get a bit stuck to the tin.

    My choco-holic partner loved this tart. I used ginger biscuits instead of all butter ones and they gave a great taste and a lovely crunchy base. Would definately make again.

    This is most definitely a "blow the diet" dessert - i have made it twice now -and it is crowd pleaser. I followed the hints from loveabargain and didnt find any problems.

    I used half the icing sugar and it was just right. And I also followed the other comments to mix the vanilla into the cream. The chocolate did go a little lumpy when it was mixed with the cream, but no-one noticed. I couldn't find butter biscuits, so I subbed digestives instead. Lovely recipe, not too sweet and cloying.

    If you like chocolate you will LOVE this recipe, it is sooo delicious. I served it for my mum on mothers day and she loved it! I will warn you though, it is VERY rich, I love chocolate but even I found this a bit too heavy, I recommend small slices to start with!

    This is delicious but very naughty! I only put half the amount of syrup in the biscuit base and it was fine. To be honest i'll put less butter in next time too.

    Very nice and very easy. Like the other reviewer, just used 50g of butter and 1tbl spoon of sugar. Was more than enough.
